Voss - Approaching Planet SurfaceCed began to pilot the shuttle near the coordinates where the others had landed, keeping a safe distance away. From his aerial reading, he could not detect Zara, but his thermal scanner detected several life forms inside of what appeared to be an old smuggling freighter. Very interesting... He opened a secure comm with the remaining ground forces, also relaying a copy of the message to the Corruo, including a holoimage of the freighter. "Agent Vesper reporting in. Some of the Je'daii appear to be retreating on what looks to be a YT-2400 light freighter. Advise against firing, as the girl has not yet been retrieved and could possibly be inside. Will investigate further. Over."

Voss - On Board Epoch WrenHave you used one of these things before? I'd do it myself but I was... drugged. Can't see straight. You're the only one here I almost trust.Dawson smiled weakly when the door opened and he could hear her voice inside his head again. "I'll handle this from here just make sure we have a way back to my ship. I'm sure you understand the love of ones ship." he didn't wait for a response before he slid into the escape pod with Zara. "Almost? Well its a start, i still don't trust ninety percent of my staff." a foolish grin was plastered on his face as he took the cauterizer from her and took a breath so steady his nerves lining up the emitter end of the medical device with the deep gash on her leg. "You know I have not seen this much blood on one woman since the Countess of Serenno had that birthday bash three years back." he chuckled as he moved the laser along the wound.

Voss - On Board Epoch WrenCorvin could sense the telepathy happening nearby, but once again could not make it out. "Looks like you've got this under control..." he said, clapping Dawson on the shoulder. Was this really a good time to hit on her? No time to worry about that. He turned his back and began making his way down the corridor. "And I've still got plenty more lives to save!" "De'Avril!" he bellowed as he made his way once more toward the airlock, carefully avoiding the spilled bacta fluid. "You still have the charts up? What's within walking distance to the North?""Creepy lookin' Forrest." she replied casually. "Figures." he said, cursing under his breath as he fixed the Mandalorian helmet on once more and activated the HUD. "All right Davth, let's see what kind of trouble you're in."He had the jet pack primed and was about to take off when he heard FUBAR whining in protest as he led a medical team toward the Wren, clearly slower than he'd like. Corvin let the pack cycle down to standby as they came up the ramp, his look of impatience conveniently covered by the mask. "We've got to get this man into your infirmary.""Infirmary?""Bacta tank?""You're in luck. One just opened up. FUBAR, show these guys in.... and clean this mess up!" he said, waving a hand at the puddles on the floor. "Watch you're step fellas... wait!" he finally recognized their patient, and things got complicated once more. "Endar!? Where's Elyria?" He whipped off the helmet again so the master could see his face, but kept it under one arm so that he could fly at a moments notice.

Voss - On Board Epoch WrenZara seemed a lot more at ease when the Je'daii was gone and it was just her and Dawson. She cringed a little when he began to close her wound, weakly wrapping her fingers around his free hand. Yet surprisingly, the pain from the laser was not nearly as severe as it should have been. Apparently she had already started losing sensation in her entire body. When he was finished with that wound she lifted her medical gown to expose an even worse gash that ran all the way down her side. Yeah? What happened to her? she asked, desperate to keep her mind occupied so that she wouldn't fall asleep. Nevertheless, her head dropped onto his shoulder and Zara closed her eyes, smiling serenely and beginning to dip out of consciousness. Her eyes opened moments later and she snapped her head back up when she remembered what he had said about getting back to his ship. The panic once again seized her mind, breaking the calmness his presence had initially provided. They were still on the enemy ship. Her eyes were suddenly wild and alert. No... we have to leave, we have to get out of here! Dawson, I don't know what they're planning to do to us, but we should leave before we find out! You heard their thrusters, they're planning on taking off and leaving everything behind! We need to get to the Delirium right now -- can -- can you carry me?She was a little embarrassed about the idea of her -- a Sith, being carried around like a broken doll, but there was no other way. Her legs were completely numb and she couldn't walk.

Voss - Sith Command TentThe Emperor stood, careful not to show any sign of weakness even though he was still in pain. Swatting at the hands of the medical staff trying to help him, he growled his warning for them to stay back. "Tell High Lord Locolvictum that he should prepare to fall back so that we may begin the orbital bombardment without too many unnecessary losses," he ordered, "Also notify Grand Admiral Daddicus that I will be returning to the Corruo now to survey the damages and offer my personal congratulations for the destruction of the Je'daii fleet." With that, he started walking towards his transport ship.

Voss - Planet SurfaceCed's shuttle had to decloak for a brief moment as he landed on the planet surface, but he specifically chose an area on a cliff facing the suspicious freighter. The agent disembarked the vessel in a haste, moving to the edge of the cliff behind a large boulder so that he would not be seen from his vantage point. Through his scope, he just barely caught a glimpse of an older man being rushed into the ship by an entire team of medics. Obviously the man was important, if a posse of four men had to escort him. The grandmaster? Who else could it be? Cedric suddenly felt ill. If this man was indeed the grandmaster of the Je'daii, the best thing to do would be to notify the Corruo and the Emperor right away that he was boarding a getaway ship, so that they could target and obliterate the vessel. Even if Zara was still on that ship, Ced knew how these Sith operated and he wouldn't put it past them to sacrifice one of their own to deal a crippling blow to the Je'daii. If anything, he would be surprised if they didn't allow a mere apprentice to die to ensure the death of the leader of this rebellion. The young man was conflicted. The agent was supposed to put his personal feelings aside and let the Emperor deal with this ship. But if his sister was still on that ship, and he was beginning to get the feeling that she was seeing as he still hadn't located her on the surface amidst all the chaos, letting anyone else know that the leader of the Je'daii was potentially on that ship would surely mean the death of his sister. If she isn't already dead...The thought, though certainly a valid question in its literal meaning seeing as he still couldn't locate her, was actually a thought that had been nagging him since the first time he had seen her in the Imperial courtyard, after he had thought she truly was dead for so many years. That cold look in her eyes... they were the same eyes of his sister, but they did not belong to the same girl anymore. He shook his head. Despite his doubts, he wasn't going to tell anyone what he had just seen. Whoever, or whatever she was, she was still his sister and he wasn't about to let her be blown into space dust. Ced used a grappling hook to lower himself down from the tall ledge, activating his stealth field generator as he drew closer to the freighter...

Vengeance
"Admiral there's a massive energy reading coming from the planets surface. I can't pinpoint it's location but it seems to be heading straight for..."
A massive explosion rocked the ship and crew members were thrown across the bridge as monitors shatter an pipes buckled. The smoke cleared an bodies lay everywhere amid tangled and jagged debriss.
"Mi'qote, status report!! Mi'qote!!"
The smoke cleared enough for Admiral Sodan to see his former first mate, or what was left of him after a massive sheet of titanium had cut him in half. Rushing to the intercom he pulled it down, speaking as quickly and calmly as he could.
"All hands report to the nearest escape pods!! This is not a drill!! all hands report to...
Another explosion rocked the ship, this time coming from the engines as they ruptured. Opening a communications link with the Corruo he spoke hurriedly again.
"Corruo this is Admiral Sodan of the Veangeance!! We have been hit by an unknown source and the ship is currently falling apart. I have ordered all crew to abandon ship and they will be jettisoned shortly. I only ask that you take on board as many as you can. I will of course be going own with my ship, as befits a captain. Soan out!!"
More explosions chained through the inner-workings of the ship and Admiral Sodan's last thoughts were of his crew and of atisfaction that at least he had taken two Je'daii ships out of action that day. He only hoped that tales would be told of the exploits of the Vengeance after he was gone.
Voss Down, below what was left of the massive space battle, a hooded figure stood atop an old planetary turbolaser. He looked up at the explosion, so massive that it could be seen even from the planets surface, and smiled slightly to himself.
"Even the mighty Sith will fall if you hit them in the right place." He muttered quietly to himself.
His robes flowing in the wind he turned and strode purposefully away, leaving the ship's destruction as a warning of what was to come.

Voss - Gorma-KossElyria was arguing with the Gormak general when she suddenly felt a strange tingling...always sensitive to any disruption in the Force, she turned and looked around...she felt two unknown signatures...one Dark...one light..but could see nothing..she placed her hand to her brow and scanned the overhangs, but between the bright sun, the dust and debris it was barely visible ...and yet.... she reached for a pair of electro-binoculars and peered through when a bright flash caught her eye...turning her gaze upward she was just in time to see one of the Sith fleet explode into a million fragments...she was standing next to the Great Cannon which had not fired... "how...? she scanned the area where she had seen the flash, but there was nothing there...the dim Force signature was gone...but the Darker signature appeared to be getting closer, she put down the binoculars and looked frantically all around..seeing nothing..uneasily she returned to her argument with the Gormak...the Je'daii ships were preparing to disembark...as soon as the Corruo landed they would make a break for it...in the meantime they had to destroy what they could not carry...they could leave nothing behind for the Sith..the Gormak refused to evacuate..they had and would continue to fight for their land..with or without the Je'daii...warriors at heart they seemed almost exhilarated by the battle...they promised to give cover to the Je'daii ships as they made their escape.. "she was relieved but still unsure had she had managed to exact that promise from them.."seeing that all preparations for departure were hastily being made, her only concern now was Davth.. How could she leave him behind with the Sith capturing the planet...but how would she find him? His Force signature was all but gone...she could stay behind and use the new techniques Corvin had taught her...but what then? (did i get everyone?? LOL)

Voss - Planet SurfaceCed had only moments to react when he saw the blinding light of the turbolaser. He dove behind a stone bunker and covered his ears. Debris rained all around him as the explosion rang in his eardrums. Who the hell...When the coast was clear, he had to de-cloak to set up his sniper rifle. Peering through the scope, he saw a suspicious hooded figure walking away from a turbolaser. Dammit, he was ruining everything! Now the Sith were certainly going to make a hasty retaliation and fire their own superlasers as soon as possible. Was he Je'daii? Or just a rogue? Whatever he was, he was a threat, and the threat had to be eliminated. Preferably sooner than later, as he still had to get Zara and himself out of this mess. He waited patiently aiming at the figure with his rifle, waiting to get a clear shot so that he could fire.

Voss - Battlegrounds "Alright everyone pull back! We need to escape the bombardment area ten minutes ago! Now lets move!" Locolvictum yelled over the squad comm. Locolvictum ran like the wind, dodging blaster fire and cutting down enemies at the same time. He didn't care where he was heading, as long as it was away from where The lord Emperor was going to start bombarding the planet.

Voss - On Board Epoch WrenYeah? What happened to her?
"Her? Oh no it was not her blood. So she was an accomplished swords woman, one of the best on the planet, and a few lessons from a pirate certainly helped hone her edge a bit. So like I said she gets a little to drunk and starts to challenge other members of the court, the guards, hell even the servants. She gets mad and grabs the closest guard and runs him through..."When her head hit his shoulder he knew he had to hurry things along. He bit his lower lip as he finished cauterizing the wound. " There we go all patched up."No... we have to leave, we have to get out of here! Dawson, I don't know what they're planning to do to us, but we should leave before we find out! You heard their thrusters, they're planning on taking off and leaving everything behind! We need to get to the Delirium right now -- can -- can you carry me? "What pass the opportunity to have an almighty sith like putty in my hands? I'm not sure i'll ever have another chance like this." He slid an arm under the womans legs and allowed her to place her arms around his neck before slowly rising. He placed his free hand to his ear and started to speak into the comlink "A5-M3, get the ship running, prep a medical droid for a trauma patient, warm up the guns, shields, and prep a few of those sabatoge bots we used to use on snatch and grabs." He lowered his hand for a moment before re-raising his hand "Send out a couple battle droids as well, we might need security if things are as bad as these guys are making it out to be, older models we don't want to loose anything to valuable for these guys." He opened the escape pod door and started to make his way out of the ship, he passed a medical team transporting an injured older male, he did his best to make a quick memorization of his face. Once he was on the loading dock he called out over his shoulder "I'll be waiting for you all at the Nal hutta fuel station, reach me on the comms if the plans change."

Voss - Gorma-KossA blinding flash of light arced skyward, drawing Corvin's attention away from the medical team as he followed it with his HUD. Glad of anti-dazzle and zoom features, he needed no other equipment in order to watch as the Vengeance was annihilated. But that blast... it didn't come from the Great Cannon. In fact, the Great Cannon had been silent this whole time... He looked down at the master, whose wounds were clearly too grievous still for him to respond. "What are you all standing around here for?" he snapped at the medics, who were clearly waiting for him all along. "Get him in the tank!"There was only one ship left in the sky, and he was tantalizingly close to the largest surface-to-atmo weapon on the planet. "Maybe it's not over yet..." he said, his rocket packs engaging as he launched himself skyward. Inserting a dramatic pause in case anyone wants to set a scene... if we don't have a story driven reason why the big cannon has been silent, it's time for Corvin start firing on the Curro from here!

"WHOA! Switch all power to shields! Where did that blast come from? Get a fix on the energy signature! Prepare the starfighters and Redemption Squad for launch! That blast means one of two things: Either the Je'daii are not done fighting, or they're attempting to clear the spacelanes for departure. Get us behind that moon. I didn't sign up for this! Their fleet is decimated. That was my part of this bargain! Communications! Raise the Emperor and let him know where we'll be waiting for him!" "M'Lord, Admiral Sodan sent a final communique asking us to retrieve the escape pods from the Vengeance! He has chosen to go down with his ship!" "If you're suggesting I hang around to fulfill a dead man's request, you're sorely mistaken. If the escape pods are jettisoned near the moon, use the tractor beam to pull them in, but do not divert power to the tractor beams until we are safely behind that moon!" "M'Lord, we have triangulated the source of the planetary defense cannon which shot down the Vengeance! "Good! Store the information until the Emperor returns! This is his baby, now!" Darth Daddicus left the bridge and returned to his temporary quarters. He pondered on the upgrades he would purchase for the Inferno once he was paid. He could not help but to occasionally glance over his shoulder through the viewport to see if any turbolaser blasts were heading his way to ruin his plans.

// Um, Dawson wouldn't have to memorize Endar's face, because you already KNOW him. Don't you remember who you were supposed to be transporting the entire time? Or were you too distracted by the Sith who was just tagging along? wink Voss - Leaving Epoch WrenZara seemed much less frantic and paranoid as soon as they left the Je'daii ship. She smiled at his story. It was amusing enough to keep her attention and distract her long enough from the pain. I suppose I don't have to guess who the pirate was...But fatigue was beginning to overcome her. Though her wounds were closed she had already lost too much blood. She was drenched in a cold sweat and her entire body was shaking feverishly. She hated this, she hated looking so weak and vulnerable. She realized she must look rather undignified right now; a Sith, half dead, covered in blood and in the arms of a Zeltron pirate. I was already injured after my first fight, but I got cocky... I was eager to off that guy who called me a mute whore at the club. You remember him, right? The one who caused all the problems and then blamed it on me. Tried to pretend I was his psycho ex or something. Yeah, right! Believe it or not I actually have standards!She started to laugh, but then she stopped laughing and cringed when she realized how much it hurt to laugh. Zara was actually in a rare lighthearted mood. All of the emotional walls that she usually built around herself seemed to have crumbled in her disoriented state. It doesn't matter though... next time I will kill him...A small smile graced her features and she was finding it harder and harder to keep her eyes open. She was drifting, in and out of the unconscious realm, fighting back to the surface every time.

Voss - Planet Surface -- > boarding Epoch WrenCed grew frustrated as the hooded figure went out of view. Dammit! He didn't have time for this! He put away his sniper rifle and activated his stealth field generator yet again. Thankfully with all of the commotion going on and people entering and leaving the ship, he was able to slip onto the suspicious freighter without being noticed. He moved silently to a cargo hold, hiding inside of an empty crate where he would stay until everything died down and he had a chance to look around. Zara had to be here. Where else could she have gone to?
